That's an economy car.
It looks cool.
It is still capable of being sideways/awesome/etc.
So yes.
I don't think its cool, Should I "quit cars"? Its missing its front bumper for gods sake. I just hate so see all these "drivers" cars being ruined by impractical modifications or poorly executed ones. Its a sports car not a rolling set of the latest kicks or some trendy shades.

Its only cool if the wood planks fit in the trunk!
well, whatever floats your boat, I still think that setting hellaflush up on a pedistal is pretty dumb, or having your car slammed like this for street use (or even your daily driver) is idiotic, but for none street use (or at least regular driving), why not, I sure as hell won't do it, I like a well handling car and the back end breaking loose at roughly the same time as the front
also, blue, could you please edit your sig? the photobucket 'look who's popular' thing is getting a bit annoying
Just because something is old, doesn't mean you throw it away

How is it an ecconomy car or are you talking about the 8g?
I would love to know how you think that car is in anyway suited for everyday driving let alone going "sideways" on anything other than an un-crowned racetrack as smooth as a baby's bottom. I'd like to see what his tires look like after a few weeks of everyday driving. Beautiful wheels though.
There is such a thing as too low...it looks like a clown car.
But hey its just my opinion and I would never directly insult someone for their taste in modifying there car, at least not publicly.
Personally I like it but its not for me lol. I'm to picky over scraping. My 240 (s14 zenki) when I had it was lower than my 8g, and also on springs (espelir with agx). I got a steal on a brand new SE model lip from a guy on a forum shortly after lowering, only to eventually have small chunks taken out over time. I got tired of spray paint touch ups too lol. Glad I just painted it matte black. As for the galant, sometimes I would like to go a tad lower, but the lowered v6 axle issue is alread a fewy kinda present at my current drop smh. And I'm not tryna go 4cyl..one reason I like my 8g more than the 240 to some peoples surprise. But a few of the guys in the crew I'm in are "stanced" but nothing insane
240sx. Came with a 2.4l NA I4 new. Cost 12-20k IIRC. Nothing special at all, definitely not a sports car.

This similarly low S13 also can't be driven.
hi, i'm new here...totally agree with a lot of ya. I need a car that can go up ramps without too much hassle. Had a '92 accord that was "flush" persay, and i didn't enjoy a bit of it, always bottoming out on everything, had to take ramps up "ultra sideways", and even went to the point where i got stuck on a speed bump because i was so low. Sure i like a nice lowered car, but cambered out to the point i have to buy a new set of tires every week, no thank you. :)
I gotta say I totally disagree with this.
I daily my SLAMMED 2011 Lancer and honestly, it makes me much more aware as a driver.
Everytime I see a bump, or pothole I slow down and check my mirrors, this in turn keeps me on my toes about the cars around me which helps me drive safely. That is something that a lot of drivers dont do on the road. I know when I first met my ol' lady, she didnt even have her mirrors set to being able to see whats next to her. I also notice that when I drive a car home from work, let's say I have to do a few drive cycles to get the monitors ready, I am lazier when it comes to driving. because I dont pay attention because I have "no worries". So I drive my stick shift lancer that sits 3" from the ground everyday and love every second of it. Plus, I am a huge believer in driving a car. If I have something for my daily Im going to drive it, SLAMMED or not. I drive the car the way it is all year. SNOW, rain, sleet, tornado. EVERYDAY. I even take it up north and drive it on gravel roads. Doesnt bother me any.
Plus, its the same with driving a 500hp car on the daily. Its not practical to fill your tank up EVERY 150 miles, so practicality is not the argument here.
I agree with this entirely, my car is not even remotely low, but since I've let my GF drive it a few times, I've noticed her becoming a 'better'/more attentive driver, even in her own car. Now she even makes fun of stock height cars and wants me to lower her next car.
Cliffs: Low cars are best cars.
BTW, new guy, camber doesn't kill tires, unless its to some unbelievably extreme amount.
THIS.
Anyone on this board, take our cars for example, observe people in your town in their stock height Galant pay attention to their driving, you will find that the words "Don't give a fuck" come to mind. And then observe the way they look, most will have clueless expressions. And lastly, usually their cars appearence matches the way they drive "Don't give a fuck"

Trust me galants around my area are really fucked up because they are not at all looked after. Even when my car was stock it looked better than most of the galants around me just because my family took care of it. My galant is in pieces right now and it still looks better than all the galants around me.
Haha. So im not alone on this.
How many times have you heard "Thats a Galant?!" When you show people what you drive.

Im not stock height but im not hellaflush either, i have little less than a finger gap all the way around and I let my GF drive my car for the first time here in my neighborhood the other day and she was freaking out. In her car shes like speed racer but when she was in mine she was alot more attentive. So this is a valid point
Im with you on this as well.
